The Republicans are frustrated. Here they have a pet political argument, oil drilling in the US just ripe for the picking, and McCain doesn't support it. It seems every US citizen seems to understand that alternative energy sources aren't coming on line in volume any time soon and McCain won't touch drilling with a 10 foot pole.
This is an underhand pitch that the Republicans could hit out of the park. Rarely does any party have such an advantage, yet little or nothing will happen in the presidential race, it appears, to take advantage of it. Could you just imagine a candidate putting out facts and figures about drilling in the US on a Power Point slide show how 85% of our country cannot be drilled? Showing where off the coast of Florida the Cuban's are opening up tracts for drilling while US companies are frozen out? You could leave out ANWR and still pound the Dems with this. May happen in the congressional races but doesn't look like McCain will touch it with anything other than rhetoric and American ingenuity that can bring us green power before it is predicted to make much of an impact.
Too bad, we need to drill, build nuclear power plants and build refineries. Nearly every one in the world can see this, amazingly we cannot or will not.
